In today's "I hate Windows rant" my work computer has been updated, and now the start menu does not work, and windows won't minimize properly often glitching out. The work around is just alt-tab constantly... yay ... and yes, I've tried restarting the thing.

Thank goodness I have the programs I actually need pinned to my desktop space.

Microsoft’s designers must clearly be on a level of their own. Yes, although it takes me a while to realise that the left icon is Word and the right is OneDrive, I end up knowing which is which, but why on earth make it easier for the user?

Am I missing a #youth cultural reference here?

Or is this LLM generated? It was for sale in a real store, not a dropship website.

The composition is borderline dadaist. I'm impressed!

Perhaps one of the most poorly designed websites ever

What a creative sink, but didn't you forget a little detail

The WNBA website uses the most confusing symbol possible to indicate teams that made it to the playoffs

Have schools lost #engineering competency in the past 20 yrs?

You used to be able to simply insert a coin into the washing machine & it would simply just work. This recent generation of engineers thought it was a good idea to:

* get rid of coin payment
* connect the #laundromat machines to the internet
* force people to run an app
* force people to use a bank account or paypal to top up their account

So there are now ~50+ new points of failure where things can go wrong.

The person who thought it is a good idea to place a lock key right above the backspace key should rot in hell.

@ColetteDiskette @jadzia426 Search engines should also use the “garbage detection” service to downrank shitty (#crappyDesign) webpages.

Dicks will be dicks. It’d be impossible to code #Mastodon to somehow make dick-moves impossible, but certainly it’s a #MastodonBug that I cannot post a reply to a msg that mentions me. Fair enough if their mention is stripped from my post, but it’s effectively designed so that someone can put shit under someone else’s name and block them from defending themself.

Is it #assholeDesign or #crappyDesign?

Nerd help wanted-- I would like to know how to extract the #Youtube UID from pages like this one: web.archive.org/web/2023060220 I hit f12 to inspect & just get a massive blob of DIV tags. I tried cURLing the page & “grep -i youtube” & get nothing. #askFedi #crappyDesign or #assholeDesign

@wallamidyl It’s an intersection where cars are rewarded & cyclists are punished. Cyclists end up just running reds at this #crappyDesign intersection. There are other parts of the same city where they actually dug a tunnel just for cyclists. That’s obviously on the right path toward incentivizing cycling but if they did that everywhere you’d wonder how the city could afford it.

How are web admins managing to fuck up scrollbars? Even a school kids in the 1990s were able to create webpages with a working scrollbar. #crappyDesign
